This edition is a mass-produced vintage Bible published shortly after the 1977 merger of William Collins & Sons and World Publishing Co. In fair condition, it is generally valued between £15 and £40 as a reader or study copy, rather than a high-value antique.
Key Details & Valuation
- Publisher Context: In 1976, Collins and World Publishing operated under a brief partnership before the official merger in 1977. This edition was produced during that transitional period at their Cleveland, Ohio facilities.
- Market Value: Because mass-produced Bibles from the 20th century lack historical rarity, this edition’s value depends on physical condition (e.g., tight binding, clean pages, unblemished cover). Similar vintage copies generally sell between £15 and £40
- Readability: The “Giant Print” designation was a popular marketing term in 1970s publishing used to describe larger, easier-to-read font sizes (typically 14-point to 18-point font).
